Vice mayor of central China city arrested for helping property developer evade fees

The vice mayor of Changning in central China's Hunan Province has been arrested for abuse of power and taking bribes, the provincial procuratorate said on Wednesday.

Xie Yangdang, 48, is accused of exceeding his remit in trying to exempt a real estate company from paying land fees it had evaded, procuratorate sources told Xinhua.

Xie is also suspected of taking bribes.

A further investigation into the case is underway.
